Swindled.

John Hummel, of Monroe township.
Snyder county, was recently svindled
out of $4,000 very cleverly by three
sharpers in the following manner; He
had been corresponding with a man
who signed himself c. B. Baxter, u.
ID. On Saturday morning, May II,
two WE'LL dressed strangers drove to
Mr.. Hummel's farm, where they met
that gentleman, and Baxter introduc-
ed Mr.. W. H. Morton, his lawyer The
party looked over the farm and be-
gan negotiating foI the sale. While
near the barn another we'll dressed
stranger drove up, and introduced
himself to the party. His business
was that of painting advertisements
on barns and fences. After a great
deal of talk the last man produced a
satchel in which were rows of envel-
opes that he said contained prizes.
The price for draws was five dollars,
and Morton said he would take a
shine at the prizes, which according
to the fakir, ranged from five dollars
to six thousand. Morton lost, his
first draw being a blank. This did
not discourage him in the least, bu;
he asked Mr.. Hummel for a small
loan to continuethe game. Mr.. Hum.
mel handed him thirty dollars, and
he commenced over again. Morton's
luck changed, for from the first time
he won. First FIVE, then ten, and
soon fifty, with only an occasional
loss. Then Mr.. Hummel drew, and
he won five dollars. The next time
he lost, but he soon won, till at
length, guided by his friend Morton,
he drew an envelope containing q
card with the mystic figures, 5000,
''conditionally." The conditions were
plain, MIR. Hummel had to pay over
the sum of $1,000 in cash, for which
ne was to receive $4,000, and he wss
to have two hours to do it in. He
hadn't the money, but his friends
suggested that he go to Sunbury and
draw the amount from the bank. This
he agreed to do, while the remainder
of the party awaited his return. Mr.
Hummel went to Sunbury to the bank
and received $4,000 in bills, of good
American money, and in return pla-
ced upon the counter bis check for
that amount He then returned to
his farm above Northumberland
holding in his hand the card on which
appeared dollar mark, the figure
six, and three ciphers. The advertis-
ing man was seated in his buggy by
the barn, and Mr. Hummel paid him
the $4,000. As soon as he received
it he shut up his satchel, hit his horse
a cut and drove for Milton. Morton
and Baxter condoled with Mr. Hum.
mel for an hour; said they had also
been stuck and could not purchase
the farm at that time, but would re-
turn. They also made him promise
not to mention the loss. and left af-
ter bidding him an affectionate adieu
MIR. Hummel, with assistance. Dur
sued them to Erie, where he lost all
trace of them. The utmost secrecy
was maintained by all connected with
1t, but it finally leaked out-Liyer-

The New York Independent of last
week says: The Presbyterian Church,
as announced by the Moderator in
General Assembly, has now amended
lis Confession of Faith in one partic-
ular. The section which forbids a
man whose wife has died to marry
her sister has been most wisely omit
ted. 1t has been a dead letter this
long while, and in one case a man
who had married his deceased wifes
sister was Moderator OF the Assem-
bly,, and was president of the chief
theological seminary in the Church.
But in this case there was no disloy-
atty on his part, or on the part of
those who elected him, to the Presby-
terian Church or its Greed: for no
minister Is required to declare his
absolute acceptance of every single
statement in the Greed, but only that
he believes that it contains" the ''sys
TEN of doctrine taught in the Holy
Scriptures.

Judge Lynch in Indiana.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 1.-Sheriff
Lewis, of Gibson county, Indiana,
arrived in the city last night, and
brought the news of a very sensation
al affair happening in Crawford Co,
Sunday. A IA year old daughter of
) Flanagan, near Boston, that coun-
ty, was carried away and cruelty as
saulted. At ten o'clock SUNDAY
morning, Walter and Charles Davies.
brothers Of bad repute, visited the
Flanagan residence, which is situat-
ed eight miles from this place, in
Perry county, and finding the family
away from home save the daughter
and her two brothers, they told the
Flanagan boys that some stray
stock was breaking into the farm
mile away from the house. The
Flanagan boys started out in the di
rection indicated by the visitors as
that taken by the stray stock. No
sooner had they started to look after
the supposed stray stock than the
Dawes boys carried the daughter of
young Flanagan to a neighboring
wood. She was then beaten with a
stick Of wood and left for dead.
When the two brothers returned
home a search was made for the miss
ing sister. An ali night hunt failed
to discover her whereabouts. but on
Monday morning some of the neigh
bors foundt the girl, almost dead, tied
to a tree in the woods. She stated
that after the assault upon her, the
two men pointed pistols at her and
threatened to shoot her if she made
any outcry during the night. The
two Davies boys who were the Grim
inals, We're found in the woods near
the suffering girl on Monday morn
ing. One account states that both
OF them were taken TO a sapling near
by and lynched after they had con
fessed the deed Another states that

Farmers-Stray Cattle.

In Canada, as in most other com
munities, when a farmer picks up an
estray animal, he cares for it, adver-
tises it, and calls upon the owner to
prove property, pay charges and
take the animal away. To rhe ordi-
nary mind this transaction appears
very straightforward, and to offer a
very small opportunity for fraud.
But the mind of the swindler is equal
to the occasion, and can convict this
simple matter of advertising an es-
tray, into swindle upon the farmer
who advertises. These swindlers as
usual, haunt in couples. According
to the Sarina, Ontario, Observer
They read the localnewspspers care
fully, and when farmer publishes
an estray notice, No L calls to look
at the animal. The farmer shows
the beast and the fellow decides it is
not his then he returns to his part
ner and describes it minutely to him.
No. 2 goes to the farmer and after
proving by a thorough description
that he is the owner of the animal,
says he cannot take it away, and
offers to sell at bargain. The far
mer buys it and in a few days the
right owner comes. and claims the
animal" This is q swindle which
may readily take in an honest far
mer, and it will probably not be con-
fined to the other side OF the border.
Farmers beware how you purchase

The General Revenue Act passed
by the late Legislature has failed to
become a law. Governor Beaver,
when he came to examine it found 1t
without the signature of the Presi-
dent or President pro TEN OF the
Senate and Of course he could not
sign it. One of the popular features
of the bill is that it abolishes the tax
on personal property that Is on
watches, furniture, cattle and horses
Another popular feature is that it
gives to the counties half of the tax
collected on judgements, mortgages,
